196 * Revitalize G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE flag and use it to enable PCRE JIT compiler (work
197 by Aleksei Rybalkin) (!2817)
199 * Fix some regressions due to the PCRE2 port (work

203 * Fix a pidfd leak that was introduced in the previous release (work by
204 Christian Hergert) (#2708)
206 * Support compilation without a C++ toolchain (work by James Hilliard) (!2822)

216 (!2818, !2819, #2682)
218 * Executables that are invoked when installing other software, typically
219 from packaging system triggers, can now be installed into
220 architecture-dependent locations. Unix OS distributors who install
221 GLib for more than one architecture in parallel (multiarch or multilib
222 installations) should consider building with -Dmultiarch=true, installing
223 the bin/glib-compile-schemas and bin/gio-querymodules symbolic links in
224 packages for the primary architecture, and omitting those symlinks from
225 packages for secondary architectures. (work by Simon McVittie) (!2818)
227 * Some enumerators introduced in previous releases have been changed, for better
228 introspection results:
229 - G_MARKUP_PARSE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_MARKUP_DEFAULT_FLAGS
230 - G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_FLAGS_NONE renamed to G_TLS_CERTIFICATE_NO_FLAGS

236 * Add support to --delete option to gio set, to unset a file attribute (work by
237 codeboybebop) (#2588)
239 * Improve default value of glib_debug option: G_ENABLE_DEBUG will be defined
240 only if using `--buildtype=debug` or enabled via `-Dglib_debug`, but it
241 won't ever be set if an optimized build is requested (specifically if the
242 optimization level is not `0` or `g`) as it may be the case when using
243 `--buildtype=debugoptimized` (work by Michael Catanzaro) (!2851)

309 dependency and use libpcre2 instead, while preserving the behaviour and API of
310 GRegex. G_REGEX_OPTIMIZE and G_REGEX_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT are now deprecated

1915 Overview of changes in GLib 2.67.1
1916 ==================================
1918 * Deprecate `g_time_zone_new()` in favour of `g_time_zone_new_identifier()`,
1919 which makes error checking easier (#553)
1921 * Remove `volatile` from various public APIs, including `G_DEFINE_*`. You should
1922 adjust your code to not use `volatile` for atomic variables, `GOnce`
1923 variables, or mostly anything else (see
1924 http://isvolatileusefulwiththreads.in/c/). (#600)

1935 or skipping test suites by prefix (work by Frederic Martinsons) (!1738)
1937 * Fix thread-safety of `GBinding`; see the updated documentation for
1938 `g_object_bind_property()` for full details — if your code uses `GBinding`
1939 across threads, you should re-check it against the latest documentation, use
1940 `g_binding_unbind()` rather than implicitly dropping the binding with your
1941 last `g_object_unref()` call, and use `g_binding_dup_source()`/`g_binding_dup_target()`
1942 instead of `g_binding_get_source()`/`g_binding_get_target()`

3111 * Various test fixes for Windows (!930, !931)
3113 * Initial support for Universal Windows Platform (UWP): certification, and use
3114 of packaged libraries (!951)

3275 * Improve network availability detection with NetworkManager to treat lower
3276 levels of connectivity as having reduced availability (!781)

3573 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.1
3574 ==================================
3576 * Autotools support is gone. (!580)
3578 * g_format_size() now uses a no-break space to separate digits and units;
3579 translations will need to be updated accordingly. (#1625)
3581 * New g_queue_clear_full() API. (#1464)
3583 * Fix argument quoting on win32 when spawning subprocesses. (!419)
3585 * Allow polling more than 64 handles on win32 using g_poll(). (#1071)
3587 * Tag various tests as ‘flaky’. These are no longer run routinely on our
3588 upstream CI machines, and downstream packagers may want to not run them (or
3589 not treat those test failures as package build failures) on their test
3590 machines either. They are in the `flaky` test suite. (!579)
3592 * Add overlay support to g_resources_get_info(). (#1445)
3594 * Support defaults and locks in the keyfile GSettings backend. This will be
3595 used for flatpaks. (!450)
3597 * Accept unquoted strings in the keyfile GSettings backend to simplify things
3598 for sysadmins. (!603)
3600 * Update our contribution guidelines (`CONTRIBUTING.md`). (!590)

3658 Overview of changes in GLib 2.59.0
3659 ==================================
3661 * This will be the last development release with autotools support. As our
3662 Meson support has been around since 2.56.x, and was used to release tarballs
3663 in 2.58.x, the next development release (2.59.1) will drop autotools as used
3664 to build GLib. The macros installed for other packages to use will remain.
3666 * Add `G_TEST_OPTION_ISOLATE_DIRS` to redirect `XDG_*_HOME` to a temporary
3667 directory for each unit test. (#538)
3669 * Support `Property.EmitsChangedSignal` annotations in `gdbus-codegen`. (#542)
3671 * Add `g_assert_cmpvariant()` API for unit tests. (#1191)
3673 * Hide bind mounts from GIO mount listings. (#1271)
3675 * Automatically realign data passed to `g_variant_new_from_bytes()` or
3676 `g_variant_new_from_data()` if it is not correctly aligned. This prevents
3677 misaligned accesses on architectures which don’t support them. Callers should
3678 still aim to correctly align data to get higher performance. (#1342)
3680 * Support `ld -b binary` (on platforms which support it; i.e. Linux) to provide
3681 large pre-compiled `GResource` resources with a fast compilation time. (#1489)
3683 * Unconditionally install GLib m4 macros, so that projects which depend on GLib
3684 and which still build using autotools can continue to build even once GLib has
3685 ported entirely to Meson. (#1520)
3687 * Various fixes to the Meson build.
3689 * Drop Python 2 support and require Python 3.4+. See discussion on
3690 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-July/msg00004.html.
3693 * `GHashTable` performance and memory improvements for common cases. See
3694 https://hpjansson.org/blag/2018/07/24/a-hash-table-re-hash/. (!208)
3696 * Add flags that allow a `GApplication` to signal and replace a currently
3697 running other instance of the same `GApplication`. This will be used for app
3698 upgrades with flatpak. (!250)
3700 * Autostart xdg-desktop-portal when using the network monitor and proxy monitor
3701 portal backends. (!317)
3703 * Add a g_task_set_name() API to allow `GTask`s to be described; useful for
3706 * Enable FreeBSD CI on every commit for upstream GLib. (!387)
3708 * Various GVariant, GMarkup and GDBus fuzzing fixes, including buffer overflow
3711 * Various fixes to eliminate thread races, found by thread sanitizer (tsan).
3713 * Deprecate TLS/DTLS rehandshaking, as it has been removed from the protocol in
3716 * Support reading arguments from a file with `glib-mkenums`, which is useful
3717 for long argument lists due to having deeply nested build directories, on
3718 systems with a low limit on the command line length. (!489)
3720 * Make `g_environ_*()` case-insensitive on Windows, as the environment itself
3721 is case-insensitive on Windows. (!500)
3723 * Add Application Layer Protocol Negotiation (ALPN) support to `GTlsConnection`
3724 and `GDtlsConnection`, so that higher layer protocols can be negotiated when
3725 setting up a TLS connection, without additional round trips and latency. This
3726 is needed for eventual HTTP/2 support. (!520)
3728 * Add support for TPM keys in PEM files when loading TLS certificates. (!522)
3730 * Add a `GRecMutexLocker` auto-pointer wrapper for `GRecMutex`. (!528)

3939 Overview of changes in GLib 2.58.0
3940 ==================================
3942 * Tarball built with `ninja dist`, so if you want to build this release with
3943 autotools (which is supported), you will need to re-run autogen.sh. This
3944 release, and all micro releases in the 2.58.x series, support being built
3945 with Meson or autotools. See:
3946 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-devel-list/2018-June/msg00012.html
3948 * Fix cancellation of g_subprocess_communicate_async() calls. See !266.
3950 * Drop support for the __int64 type, which further breaks compilation on old
3951 MSVC versions (before VS2013). See #1313.
3953 * Expose GSettings schema directory in gio-2.0.pc as `schemasdir`. See !274.
3955 * Support v3 of the xdg-desktop-portal network monitor API. See !265, !279.
3957 * Fix G_MODULE_SUFFIX on macOS when GLib is built with Meson — it should be `so`
3958 rather than `dylib`. Projects that use Meson and the `g_module_build_path()`
3959 API such as glib-networking should pass `name_suffix:` to `shared_module()` to
3960 ensure that plugins continue to be called libfoo.so on macOS. See !280.

3984 Overview of changes in GLib 2.57.3
3985 ==================================
3987 * G_GNUC_MALLOC’s definition has been tightened up to match an updated
3988 definition from GCC. Many uses of G_GNUC_MALLOC which were previously
3989 appropriate may cause miscompilation with newer GCC versions. Check your uses
3990 of it against the updated documentation. See #1465.
3992 * Many minor documentation fixes.
3994 * Fix for gint64 and int64_t compatibility on macOS and BSD. See #972.
3996 * Fix free space metadata on some file systems (notably FAT). See #328.
3998 * Support installed-tests with our Meson build system. See #1444.
4000 * Forbid @filename@/@basename@ in glib-mkenums templates, which is a change to
4001 its long-standing behaviour (which was long-standing nonsensical). See !241.
4003 * Various stat() fixes on Windows. See #1452, #1476.
4005 * MinGW-w64 ABI warning: In case you build 64 bit glib without LFS support by
4006 passing --disable-largefile (not the default) and use GStatBuf, you need to
4007 rebuild your application as the size of GStatBuf has changed for this case.
4010 * Improve TAP compatibility of g_test_incomplete(). See #1474.
4012 * Change fallback preferences when loading icons. See !72.

5187 ==================================
5189 * GDesktopAppInfo now allows bus activation with dashes. This is
5190 not technically allowed per the Desktop Entry specification, but
5191 it happens in the wild. Rather than forcing people to go through
5192 another traumatic desktop file rename, accept it and translate - to _.
5194 * The support for giving names to threads has been improved. Thread names
5195 are now supported on Solaris as well, and the Linux support no longer
5196 uses prctl() but the pthread api.
5198 * GIO resources can now be overridden at runtime, using the G_RESOURCE_OVERLAYS
5199 environment variable.
5201 * gdbus-codegen can now generate autocleanup definitions for the types
5202 it generates. Use the --c-generate-autocleanup option to control this

5425 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.3
5426 ==================================
5428 The inline cleanup in the last release accidentally removed three
5429 symbols from libglib-2.0.so. It is unlikely that this will have caused
5430 any problems because these symbols were only backup symbols for
5431 definitions exported as inlines in the header files, but ABI is ABI.
5433 This release corrects only this problem.
5435 Overview of changes in GLib 2.47.2
5436 ==================================
5438 * We have formalised the assumption that all compilers that are
5439 interested in support 'static inline' and simplified the macros around
5440 this considerably. Please watch for and report unintentional fallout.
5442 * New API: hardware-assisted helpers for overflow-checked integer math.

5531 Overview of changes in GLib 2.46.0
5532 ==================================
5534 * GTask no longer imposes a fixed limit on the number of tasks that
5535 can be run_in_thread() simultaneously, since doing this inevitably
5536 results in deadlocks in some use cases. Instead, it now has a base
5537 number of threads that can be used "for free", but will gradually
5538 add more threads to the pool if too much time passes without any
5541 The exact behavior may continue to change in the future, and it's
5542 possible that some future version of GLib may not do any
5543 rate-limiting at all. As a result, you should no longer assume that
5544 GTask will rate-limit tasks itself (or, by extension, that calls to
5545 certain async gio methods will automatically be rate-limited for
5546 you). If you have a very large number of tasks to run, and don't
5547 want them to all run at once, you should rate-limit them yourself.

5803 Overview of changes in GLib 2.45.1
5804 ==================================
5806 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas has been changed
5807 to reject schema xml that has duplicate <summary> or <description>
5808 elements. Such elements typically occur when translations are merged
5809 into the schema, with xml:lang attributes. This is not the correct
5810 way to translate schemas. Instead keep the translations in the .mo
5811 file and set the gettext-domain attribute on the <schemalist> element.
5813 * The file monitoring infrastructure has been rewritten, and all backends
5814 have seen major improvements.
5816 The inotify backend is reporting events with less delay (no event will
5817 be delayed more than 10ms) and wakeups due to file monitoring have been
5818 significantly reduced. A CHANGES_DONE event will also be sent when new
5821 The poll implementation is now using the thread default main context.
5823 The fam implmentation is now running in the worker thread.
5825 The fen implementation has been removed, since it was unmaintained.
5827 * The GSettings schema compiler, glib-compile-schemas, is more strict
5828 about rejecting schemas with xml:lang style merged translations.
5829 Schema translations should be done by specifying the gettext domain
5830 in the xml, and keeping the translations in gettext. To avoid breaking
5831 already-installed schemas, this change is only taking effect when
5832 you use the --strict option.
5834 * The hardcoded 10-thread limit of GTask's thread pool has been removed,
5835 since it was prone to causing deadlocks. The thread pool is now allowed
5836 to grow dynamically and will shrink back over time.
5838 * GSimpleAsyncResult has been deprecated in favor of GTask.
5840 * The algorithm used by GAppInfo to find default handlers for mime types
5841 has been tweaked to prefer apps that handle the specific subtype over
5842 default handlers for a generic supertype.

5891 before the release of 2.44.0.
5893 * GUnixMountMonitor now properly supports multiple main contexts
5895 * many documentation improvements and cleanups. We are now
5896 approaching a point where the documentation is 100% complete and the
5897 xml will build without warnings. This will probably be enabled by
5898 default in the next cycle.

6386 files, deprecating g_desktop_app_info_set_desktop_env()

6459 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.91 to GLib 2.39.92
6460 =====================================================
6462 This is a release candidate for 2.40.0.
6464 * g_test_run() no longer runs tests in exactly the order they are
6465 registered; instead, it groups them according to test suites (ie,
6466 path components) like the documentation always claimed it did. In
6467 some cases, this can result in a sub-optimal ordering of tests,
6468 relative to the old behavior. The fix is to change the test paths to
6469 properly group together the tests that should run together. (eg, if
6470 you want to run test_foo_simple(), test_bar_simple(), and
6471 test_foo_using_bar() in that order, they should have test paths like
6472 "/simple/foo", "/simple/bar", "/complex/foo-using-bar", not
6473 "/foo/simple", "/bar/simple", "/foo/using-bar" (which would result
6474 in test_foo_using_bar() running before test_bar_simple()).
6476 (The behavior actually changed in GLib 2.36, but it was not
6477 documented at the time, since we didn't realize it mattered.)
6479 There are no major changes in this release, but a few serious bugs have
6483 710367 Crash in g_settings_backend_dispatch_signal()
6484 723899 G_DEFINE_TYPE() causes compiler warnings with clang due to foo_get_instance_private

6490 726046 Recent commit created symbolic icons issues
6502 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.90 to GLib 2.39.91
6503 =====================================================
6505 This release introduces a hard dependency on present and functioning
6506 clock_gettime() and CLOCK_MONOTONIC. It also introduces a dependency on
6507 pthread_condattr_setclock() unless your system happens to have
6508 pthread_cond_timedwait_relative_np() (as do Mac OS and Android). This
6509 release is known to be broken with at least GNU/Hurd, pending addition
6510 of working pthread_condattr_setclock(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) there.
6512 New API: g_str_to_ascii()

6765 Overview of changes from GLib 2.39.0 to GLib 2.39.1
6766 ====================================================
6768 * GSettings fixes/improvements
6770 - GSettingsSchema API is now more powerful and consistent
6772 - new GSettingsSchemaKey API allows accessing metadata for keys:
6773 type, default value, range and the long-awaited support for summary
6776 - GSettingsSchemaSource gains support for listing schemas within a
6777 source. Deprecate the global API that did this for the default
6780 - 'gsettings list-schemas' now works properly with --schemadir
6782 - deprecate a bunch of now-redundant functionality on GSettings
6784 - add API to GSettings for getting the default value of a key (as set
6787 - add API to GSettings for determining if the user has assigned a
6788 particular value to a key (ie: we are not just reading the default)
6790 - ignore qualified tags and attributes appearing in schema files
6792 * Applications/Actions
6794 - make GSimpleAction a bit more strict with respect to state changes
6795 that would violate the interface (ie: by changing the state type
6798 - throw an error when attempting to 'Describe' a non-existent action
6799 via D-Bus instead of returning a bogus description
6801 - throw an error when attempting to invoke unsupported methods on an
6802 Application (eg: 'Open' on an app that doesn't HANDLES_OPEN)
6803 instead of emitting a g_critical() in context of the app (which is
6804 not itself at fault for the errant call)
6808 - substantially rework GDesktopAppInfo to reduce the amount of disk
6809 accesses that are performed in common situations
6811 - add a new class: GAppInfoMonitor for discovering when applications
6812 are installed/removed
6814 - add a new g_desktop_app_info_search() API for searching for
6815 installed applications by name, keywords, etc.
6817 * GMarkup: add new G_MARKUP_IGNORE_QUALIFIED flag for skipping over
6818 "qualified" tags and attributes (those with a colon in the name, such
6823 - ignore qualified tags, as above
6825 - GTestDBus: unset all D-Bus addresses (such as STARTER) to ensure
6826 that test programs don't pick them up
6828 - add new session_bus_run() convenience in the tests and use it
6830 * GRand: use real random data as a seed on win32 and use the
6831 timestamp/pid/uid fallback only on UNIX machines where we can't open
6832 '/dev/urandom'. This may cause issues with older mingw32 releases
6833 due to a missing prototype for the rand_s() API.
6835 * Many win32 (and particularly MSVC) portability fixes. Many
6836 additional tests are now runnable when building with MSVC.
6838 * Due to early testing of the (soon to land) GCleanup framework, a very
6839 large number of memory errors have been found and fixed (mostly in
6840 the testcases, but some in glib itself).
6844 - some more seeking cleanups: particularly on GLocalFileInputStream
6846 - don't leave a .trashinfo file around if trashing a file fails
6848 - Add a request_certificate virtual method to GTlsInteraction
6850 Translations updated:

6869 695558 The --schemadir option has no effect
6870 696424 GSimpleAction.state property is not right

6900 Overview of changes from GLib 2.38.0 to GLib 2.39.0
6901 ====================================================
6903 * prep for the 2.40 series (version macros, docs index, etc.)
6907 - new API for sending persistent notifications via the desktop shell
6909 - notifications persist when the application has quit and clicking on
6910 them can restart the application with an action (via
6915 - new API for launching subprocesses
6917 - nice GIO integration like async functions, cancellability, etc.
6919 - a convenient communicate() API inspired by the same API in Python
6921 - related: the gspawn API now has a CLOEXEC flag for the created
6922 pipes for stdin/stdout/stderr
6924 * New gapplication(1) commandline tool
6926 - intended to be used with DBusActivatable apps
6928 - can be used for launching apps, opening files, invoking application
6929 actions and listing apps and actions
6931 - bash tab completion is supported
6933 * GDesktopAppInfo changes:
6935 - g_file_get_path() can implicitly cause a FUSE mount so don't call
6936 it until we know we need it (for an app that doesn't support URIs)
6938 - don't crash when trying to load from a keyfile with
6939 DBusActivatable=true
6941 - remove some dead code, refactor the search path handling a bit and
6942 do a large-scale whitespace cleanup (prep work for the pending
6947 - fix broken handling of mount point monitoring
6949 - remove some strange use of GObject::constructor() from the base
6950 class and inotify backend
6952 - fix GFileMonitor to work in the non-default main context even when
6953 the main context is not running (or is blocked)
6955 - add internal private API for easily creating a file monitor in the
6960 - g_settings_list_children: only list viable schemas. This fixes a
6961 longstanding issue where 'gsettings list-recursively' will crash
6962 when there are invalid schemas installed
6964 - don't accept invalid paths on g_settings_new_with_path, etc.
6968 - GFile now has a thumbnail::is-valid attribute to check if the
6969 thumbnail in thumbnail::path needs to be regenerated
6971 - GDBusProxy now has a flag to control autostarting of services at
6974 - for GSeekable, properly introduce the concept of "resizable" vs.
6975 "fixed-sized" streams in the docs, explaining the expected
6976 semantics of the interface in each case
6978 - fix some cases in GMemoryOutputStream that were violating the above
6979 expectations (which may cause a slight API incompatibility)
6981 - clean up GCredentials code and add support for Hurd and Solaris
6983 - improve splicing by using different codepaths for the case where we
6984 have real _read_async() and _write_async() implementations on the
6985 stream vs. the case where they are internally emulated (via
6986 dispatching the sync variant of the call in a thread)
6990 - fix a leak in g_key_file_get_(u)int64 when we fail to parse the
6993 - add long-requested API g_key_file_save_to_file()
6995 * Portability improvements
6997 - avoid using O_DIRECTORY on platforms that don't have it
6999 - be careful about systems that define SOCK_CLOEXEC but don't
7000 actually support it (like Hurd)
7002 - only use SA_RESTART if it exists
7004 * Other small API changes/additions
7006 - a pair of functions to support matching strings for the type of
7007 search functionality that you'd expect to have with things like
7008 GtkSearchBar. This will also be used by the desktop file index.
7010 - g_str_is_ascii() with obvious purpose
7012 - g_test_expect_message() no longer appears to allow you to catch
7013 G_LOG_ERROR messages
7015 * GMainContext/GSource
7017 - fix handling of overflowing the 'next source id' counter
7019 - g_source_remove() will now throw a critical in the case that you
7020 try to remove a non-existent source. We expect that there is some
7021 code in the wild that will fall afoul of this new critical but
7022 considering that we now reuse source IDs, this code is already
7023 broken and should probably be fixed.
7025 - simplify handling of the 'current dispatching source' to not
7026 require use of a linked list
7030 - the long-broken (and leaky) pattern of destroying a just-allocated
7031 object from inside of a custom GObject::constructor is now
7032 officially completely illegal and will abort the program
7034 * Unicode: update to 6.3.0
7038 - g_file_copy() now falls back to pathname queryinfo. This should
7039 clear up the bugs with copying from some GVfs backends (afp,
7040 gphoto, archive, at least).
7042 - fix an out-of-bounds read in the xdgmime code
7044 - fix a typo in the /org/freedesktop/DBus path on the object manager
7047 - skip emitting path_namespace='/' in match rules in order to
7048 workaround a bug in the D-Bus daemon and fix our own implementation
7049 (which shared exactly the same bug)
7051 - fix crashes on precondition violations for GParamSpec constructors
7053 - many other small fixups (see bug list)
7055 * Many documentation improvements
7058 309224 g_key_file_save_to_file missing
7059 583321 QNX: no SA_RESTART
7060 661576 fix handling of constructors that destroy half-constructed objects

7113 What's new in Glib 2.38
7114 ========================
7116 * Application support
7118 - GIO now provides an implementation of Desktop Actions from the
7119 desktop entry specification
7121 - GApplication now implements the org.freedesktop.Application
7122 interface as per the desktop entry specification, allowing for
7123 standards-based D-Bus launching of GLib-based applications
7125 - GDesktopAppInfo now supports DBusActivatable as per the desktop
7126 entry specification, allowing GLib-based applications to use D-Bus
7127 to launch other applications
7129 - GApplication now has a "busy" flag that can be set on an application
7130 to allow the shell to show that it is busy
7134 - the private offset for a given class type is now always constant.
7135 This was done by reorganising the memory layout of instances so that
7136 the private data comes before the "official" pointer for the object
7137 (ie: at a negative offset). Valgrind macros were added to mitigate
7138 any problems that this may have caused.
7140 - a new G_DEFINE_TYPE_WITH_PRIVATE has been added along with a
7141 generated function *_get_instance_private() that can now serve as an
7142 equally-performing alternative to ->priv pointers in instances
7143 (allowing memory savings)
7145 - new G_PRIVATE_FIELD, G_PRIVATE_FIELD_P and G_PRIVATE_OFFSET macros
7146 provide a convenient method of converting between named variables in
7147 private structures and their (now constant) offsets
7149 - installing properties on a GObjectClass must now be done from
7150 class_init. It is no longer valid to install them after class_init
7153 - it is now possible to manually break a GObject property binding
7154 without destroying one of the objects involved
7158 - the requirements for implementing the GIcon interface have changed
7159 in order to make it possible to consume all implementations of GIcon
7160 with a finite number of cases
7162 - a new GBytesIcon type was added for an icon represented by an
7163 in-memory binary blob in a known image format (ideally png).
7165 - new APIs g_icon_serialize() and g_icon_deserialize() replace the old
7166 to/from_string APIs and will always work, irrespective of which
7167 types have been initialised in the calling process, allowing for a
7168 serialised GdkPixbuf to be deserialised in a process that doesn't
7171 - support for icons has been added to GMenuModel using the new APIs
7175 - GPropertyAction provides a convenient way of creating a stateful
7176 property corresponding to a property on a GObject, such as the
7177 "visible-child-name" property of a GtkStack
7179 - new API g_menu_remove_all()
7181 - we now have established rules about what is a "valid" action name
7182 and an API to check them
7184 - a new API for converting detailed action names to and from the
7185 split-out name and parameter value (as GVariant)
7187 - for backwards compatibility, invalid action names can still be used
7188 with most functions, but this is not recommended
7192 - GDBus now supports services that wish to handle some of all
7193 properties on an interface asynchronously, without requiring the
7194 service to reimplement the entire org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties
7197 - GFile now has a new _measure_disk_usage() (and async) API for
7198 recursively determining the amount of disk space used by a
7199 particular directory (akin to 'du').
7201 - asynchronous version of g_file_trash() and g_file_make_directory()
7206 - GRegex has a new function to query the maximum lookbehind length to
7207 allow for regexp matching on streams

7210 avoiding copies in some cases: g_variant_new_take_string() and
7211 g_variant_new_printf()
7215 - we can now generate TAP output
7217 - new support functions for simplifying the process of dealing with
7218 data files for srcdir != builddir and installed test cases

7350 * Implement the Desktop Action specification: In the case that the
7351 application is a GApplication and DBusActivatable, actions from the
7352 desktop file are translated into GActions that have been added to
7353 the application with g_action_map_add_action().

7425 build the unmodified source
7427 * add new D-Bus API for async property handling
7429 * add back fsync() on ext4 for g_file_set_contents() after it was
7430 discovered that despite statements in the ext4 documentation
7431 suggesting that this is safe, it is not safe.
7438 698375 - D-Bus async properties

7447 to support tests that can be used installed and uninstalled.
7449 * Installing properties after class initialization is deprecated,
7450 and will trigger a warning.

7487 Overview of changes from GLib 2.37.0 to 2.37.1
7488 ==============================================
7490 * add support for installed tests:
7491 https://live.gnome.org/GnomeGoals/InstalledTests
7493 * add a new g_test_trap_subprocess() that works on Windows as a
7494 replacement for the (now deprecated) g_test_trap_fork()
7496 * support for explicitly cancelling a gobject property binding
7498 * performance improvements for signal argument handling
7500 * stop using `quotes' in very many log messages generated by GLib, for
7501 favour of 'this style'. This may cause testcases in other packages
7502 to fail if they were matching on the previous text.
7504 * improve manpages: add missing arguments and flags

7536 ==============================================
7538 * The syntax for detailed action names has been documented,
7539 and a parser API for them is now provided
7541 * GApplication has gained a busy state. This feature is intended for
7542 clients that want to signal a desktop shell their busy state, for
7543 instance because a long-running operation is pending.

7603 Overview of changes fron GLib 2.35.9 to 2.36.0
7604 ==============================================
7606 * It is no longer necessary to call g_type_init(). If you are
7607 loading GLib as a dynamic module, you should be careful to avoid
7608 unloading it, then subsequently loading it again. This never
7609 really worked before, but it is now explicitly undefined behavior.
7610 Note that if g_type_init() was the only explicit use of a GObject
7611 API and you are using linker flags such as --no-add-needed, then
7612 you may have to artificially use some GObject call to keep the
7613 linker from optimizing away -lgobject. We recommend to use
7614 g_type_ensure (G_TYPE_OBJECT) for this purpose.
7616 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7617 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7618 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7619 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7620 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7622 * The 'flowinfo' and 'scope_id' fields of GInetSocketAddress
7623 (introduced in GLib 2.32) have been fixed to be in host byte order
7624 rather than network byte order. This is an incompatible change, but
7625 the previous behavior was clearly broken, so it seems unlikely that
7626 anyone was using it.
7628 This release contains only small bugfixes and translations updates.
7630 - g_file_copy(): fix bug where attributes were not applied properly to
7631 the destination file
7633 - fix some 'available since' annotations
7635 - fix gdbus-codegen to produce more pedantically-correct code
7638 696108 gdbus-codegen: avoid warnings in generated code

7641 * Translations updated:
7657 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.8 to 2.35.9
7658 ==============================================
7660 This release drops the old codepage ABI from gutils.c. This is a
7661 source-compatible change and only breaks ABI with respect to truly
7662 ancient binaries (and those binaries are already broken for other
7663 reasons). This change only affects Windows.

7717 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.7 to 2.35.8
7718 ==============================================
7720 This release contains one major change that may cause problems: type
7721 modules are now never unloaded. This is implemented by (effectively)
7722 leaking the last reference on dynamic types. Some testcases that check
7723 for unloading of types have been observed to be broken by this change,
7724 but we know of no actual cases of "real code" breaking. Please report
7728 * A couple of build fixes for Solaris
7729 * Fix signal emission for GDBusObjectManagerClient
7731 * new API: g_dbus_address_escape_value()
7732 * GSocketClient: add proxy-resolver property
7733 * GSimpleProxyResolver: new simple GProxyResolver class

7757 * Fix the build on systems with strict linkers by adding -pthread back
7758 to the LDFLAGS for a testcase.
7760 * Re-enable native atomic operations on some buggy versions of clang
7761 that ship as part of the MacOS X SDK.
7763 * Make G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITEABLE an enum again (the #define broke bindings)

7904 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.2 to 2.35.3
7905 ==============================================
7907 * This release contains an incompatible change to the g_get_home_dir()
7908 function. Previously, this function would effectively ignore the HOME
7909 environment variable and always return the value from /etc/password.
7910 As of this version, the HOME variable is used if it is set and the
7911 value from /etc/passwd is only used as a fallback.
7913 * We now install a public "gnetworking.h" header that can be used to
7914 include the relevant OS-dependent networking headers. This does not
7915 really abstract away unix-vs-windows however; error codes, in
7916 particular, are incompatible.
7918 * Bugs fixed in this release:
7919 142568 Allow $HOME to override passwd entry if the user really wants
7920 587806 The file selector should honor .hidden files

7963 Overview of changes from GLib 2.35.1 to 2.35.2
7964 ==============================================
7966 Note that the incompatible change to the ->constructed() vfunc that was
7967 made in the last unstable release (2.35.1) has been reverted due to
7968 causing regressions in applications.
7970 A new incompatible change has been introduced in this version: it is no
7971 longer permitted to add interfaces to a class after the first
7972 instantiation (or more strictly: after g_type_class_ref()). Bug #687659
7975 Two private symbols (g_menu_{attribute,link}_hash_iter_get_type) which
7976 were accidentally exported have also been properly hidden. This may
7977 cause some tools to issue warnings about ABI mismatch.
7979 The remaining changes should be relatively harmless:
7981 * GIO now has kqueue support for GFileMonitor (BSDs, Mac OS)
7983 * New g_variant_new_from_bytes() API
7985 * UNIX signal sources now allow watching SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2
7987 * Many pedantic cleanups to adhere to a higher level of -W use
7989 * GTask changes to avoid a deadlock
7991 * many cleanups/fixes for Windows
7993 * Boxing for GPollFD, GIOChannel, GBytes, GByteArray
7995 * Fix URL-encoding of trashed files
7997 * Many other docs and annotations fixes

8047 Overview of changes from GLib 2.34.0 to 2.35.1
8048 ==============================================
8050 These two changes in particular may be slightly incompatible. Please
8051 give feedback if they cause trouble:
8053 * Signal handlers connected with g_signal_connect_object() are now
8054 automatically disconnected on target object destruction
8056 * The ->constructed vfunc is now called after all properties are set
8058 The remaining changes should not cause problems.

8635 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.22 to 2.32.0
8636 ===============================================
8638 * It is no longer necessary to use g_thread_init() or to link against
8639 libgthread. libglib is now always thread-enabled. Custom thread
8640 system implementations are no longer supported (including errorcheck
8643 * The thread and synchronisation APIs have been updated.
8644 GMutex and GCond can be statically allocated without explicit
8645 initialisation, as can new types GRWLock and GRecMutex. The
8646 GStatic_______ variants of these types have been deprecated. GPrivate
8647 can also be statically allocated and has a nicer API (deprecating
8648 GStaticPrivate). Finally, g_thread_create() has been replaced with a
8649 substantially simplified g_thread_new().
8651 * The g_once_init_enter()/_leave() functions have been replaced with
8652 macros that allow for a pointer to any gsize-sized object, not just a
8653 gsize*. The assertions to ensure that a pointer to a correctly-sized
8654 object is being used will not work with generic pointers (ie: (void*)
8655 and (gpointer) casts) which would have worked with the old version.
8657 * It is now mandatory to include glib.h instead of individual headers.
8659 * The -uninstalled variants of the pkg-config files have been dropped.
8661 * For a long time, gobject-2.0.pc mistakenly declared a public
8662 dependency on gthread-2.0.pc (when the dependency should have been
8663 private). This means that programs got away with calling
8664 g_thread_init() without explicitly listing gthread-2.0.pc among their
8667 gthread has now been removed as a gobject dependency, which will cause
8668 such programs to break.
8670 The fix for this problem is either to declare an explicit dependency
8671 on gthread-2.0.pc (if you care about compatibility with older GLib
8672 versions) or to stop calling g_thread_init().
8674 * g_debug() output is no longer enabled by default. It can be enabled
8675 on a per-domain basis with the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG environment variable
8677 G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=domain1,domain2

8944 - The type checks for overriding properties have been loosened.
8945 In particular, it is now possible to add the CONSTRUCT flag
8946 to an overridden property
8947 - GWeakRef is a new API for weak references; unlike g_object_weak_ref
8948 and g_object_add_weak_pointer, it is thread-safe.

8995 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.4 to 2.31.6
8996 ==============================================
8998 * GApplication no longer has APIs for setting menus. Those have been
8999 moved to GtkApplication.
9001 * the GActionGroup import/export functionality has been decoupled from
9002 GApplication by the introduction of a new interface for the purpose of
9003 handling platform data: GRemoteActionGroup. This allows Gtk to
9004 properly deal with platform data (and gdk threads) on window actions.
9006 * lots of documentation improvements
9008 * bug fixes and a huge number of memory leak fixes
9010 * the test suite now passes on ARM and some of the GDBus testcase hangs
9011 we've been seeing have been resolved (although others could remain)
9013 * g_bytes_get_data() API changed: now includes 'size' out parameter
9015 * new g_queue_free_full() API similar to g_[s]list_free_full()
9017 * desktop files: use standard "Keywords" now, not "X-GNOME-Keywords"
9019 * gsettings commandline tool now has --schemadir option for schemas not
9020 installed in the usual place (ie: as part of plugins)
9023 643736 GApplication doesn't emit dbus signals on action updates
9024 657433 g_queue_free_full() missing

9039 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.2 to 2.31.4
9040 ==============================================
9042 * EXPERIMENTAL: Menu support has been added to GApplication. Menus
9043 are exported on the bus, alongside the actions that are already there.
9044 There have also been many related improvements to action group
9047 These new APIs are subject to changes in the coming releases. In
9048 particular, it seems somewhat likely that the APIs for registering
9049 menubars may change in order to accommodate windows with different
9052 * GDBusConnection previously directly dispatched destroy notifies when
9053 unregistering objects if the current main context was the same context
9054 the object was exported on. It now unconditionally dispatches these
9055 through an idle on the context.
9057 * Clean up Requires in pc files. Linking against GIO no
9058 longer drags in gmodule. This may require dependency
9059 fixes here and there.
9061 * Introduce GBytes, a data type for immutable, fixed-size
9062 byte sequences. This makes the pre-existing GBuffer
9063 API available outside GLib
9065 * GDBusInterfaceSkeleton can now be exported on multiple

9099 Overview of changes from GLib 2.31.0 to 2.31.2
9100 ==============================================
9102 * Monotonic time is now properly supported on Windows
9104 * glib-mkenums: fix @ENUMPREFIX@ with /*< underscore_name=... >*/
9106 * EXPERIMENTAL: introduce new GSettingsSchema and GSettingsSchemaSource
9107 APIs for the convenience of plugin system authors and those who wish
9108 to introspect the contents of schemas. This API may change.
9110 * Improve the performance of GObject property notifies.
9113 - fix a race when unowning a name immediately after owning it
9114 - thread safety improvements on GDBusConnection
9115 - fixes for exit-on-close functionality
9118 - add G_SIGNAL_DEPRECATED
9119 - don't use G_DISABLE_DEPRECATED masking for functions anymore
9122 - tmpl/ is finally dead for glib
9125 - GInetAddressMask: new type for internet address range matching
9126 - various GIO file and stream fixes
9127 - improvements to attribute and fileinfo handling
9129 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29/2.30 to 2.31.0
9130 =================================================
9132 This release contains a huge number of changes (500 commits worth). The
9133 list below attempts to summarise, but not every change is listed.
9135 * Major changes to threading and synchronisation
9136 - threading is now always enabled in GLib
9137 - support for custom thread implementations (including our own internal
9138 support for errorcheck mutexes) has been removed
9139 - a whole lot of dead code (to deal with the non-threaded case) has
9140 been ripped out. This includes the racy path of GMainContext that
9141 caused deadlocks with respect to child process exits in
9142 single-threaded programs (such as gtester).
9143 - libgthread is now an empty shell and g_thread_init() is no longer
9144 required (and has been deprecated)
9145 - GMutex and GCond can now be statically allocated without explicit
9146 initialisation. Dynamic allocation for these types is deprecated.
9147 - new types GRecMutex and GRWLock can also be statically allocated
9148 without explicit initialisation.
9149 - GPrivate can now be statically allocated and has an improved API.
9150 Dynamic allocation of GPrivate is deprecated.
9151 - GStaticMutex, GStaticRecMutex, GStaticRwLock, GStaticPrivate are
9153 - GCond now uses monotonic time internally and a new API takes
9154 monotonic time for timed waits, deprecating the wallclock API
9155 - removal of the insane macro indirection used in the previous
9156 implementation of threading and synchronisation APIs
9157 - use SRWLock and CONDITION_VARIABLE APIs when available on Windows
9158 (Vista and later) and emulate them on XP
9159 - leaks of G(Static)Private-allocated data on some cases of thread exit
9161 - simplified new thread creation API with the old API deprecated. The
9162 concept of joinability has disappeared (all threads are joinable) as
9163 have priority levels, 'bound'ness (ie: kernel vs. userspace threads)
9164 and ability to manipulate the stack size.
9165 - GThread is now a refcounted type
9166 - other implementation details changed
9168 * Move headers for some deprecated functionality to a separate
9169 deprecated/ directory.
9171 * New support for attribute-based deprecations to issue compiler
9172 warnings instead of breaking the build and/or giving warnings about
9173 implicit declarations (and possibly miscompiling).
9175 * GCache has been deprecated (after its last use was removed from our
9176 platform over a year ago).
9178 * It is no longer possible to include individual headers (like
9179 "ghash.h") -- you must #include <glib.h>.
9181 * The misguided experiment of allowing the program to stumble along with
9182 missing GSettings schemas is now over -- the abort is back.
9184 * Clarify that fork() is not valid while using GMainContext. This is
9185 because the internal resources of the GMainContext end up being shared
9186 by both processes. We had an assert here but it was breaking existing
9187 (valid) use cases as well, so it has been removed for now.
9190 - add ::shutdown signal as logical dual to ::startup
9191 - don't use a GMainLoop: iterate the GMainContext directly (improves
9194 * Several portability fixes for Windows, OpenBSD, Solaris
9196 * Add new GValue API to specifically deal in signed chars (in case the
9197 platform defines 'char' as unsigned)
9199 * some new API to mitigate the problems associated with calling setenv()
9200 in a multi-threaded program
9202 * Use CLOCK_MONOTONIC unconditionally if the libc has support at compile
9203 time (ie: stop checking for kernel support at runtime).
9206 - drop -uninstalled variants
9207 - remove gobject dependency on gthread
9209 * New macro G_ATOMIC_LOCK_FREE is defined if the atomic operations are
9210 implemented without use of a mutex. Cleaned up atomic-related
9211 compilation issues with mingw compilers on win32 systems.
9213 * SOCKS proxy and resolver improvements
9215 * Fix the spelling of G_IO_FLAG_IS_WRITABLE (was WRITEABLE) and
9216 introduce a macro for backwards compatibility.
9219 - many code generation updates and improvements
9220 - some race condition fixes, including testcase hangs
9223 - new g_variant_new_from_fixed_array() API
9224 - substantial docs improvements/clarifications
9226 * GKeyFile is now refcounted and boxed
9228 * mount monitoring is now based on /proc/mounts (where available)
9231 * new macros G_SOURCE_CONTINUE and G_SOURCE_REMOVE for returning from
9232 GSourceFunc (so you don't have to remember what TRUE and FALSE mean)
9234 * use xlocale functions where available to avoid too much heavy lifting
9235 in functions like g_ascii_strtod()
9237 * GMappedFile can now be created from an fd
9239 * error message strings grammar/i18n fixes
9243 * Partial list of bugs closed:
9244 70598 Unify GStaticMutex and GMutex.

9355 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.18 to 2.29.90
9356 ================================================
9358 * GObject includes a generic marshaller, g_cclosure_marshal_generic.
9359 To use it, simply specify NULL as the marshaller in g_signal_new().
9360 The generic marshaller is implemented with libffi, and consequently
9361 GObject depends on libffi now.

9674 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.4 to 2.29.6
9675 ==============================================
9677 * Atomic operations have been rewritten from scratch to make use
9678 of gcc builtins where possible. As a side-effect of this, calls
9679 to g_atomic_ API with explicit casts may now be problematic; if
9680 that happens to you, try first to remove the casts. Another
9681 side-effect of the rewrite is that g_atomic_int_exchange_and_add
9682 has been deprecated in favor of g_atomic_int_add.
9684 * A full set of atomic operations on pointers has been added,
9685 including bit locks in pointer-size locations.
9687 * Access to quarks is now lockless
9689 * GObject data scalability has been greatly improved
9691 * g_data_time_format now supports alternative digits and padding

9742 * Updated translations:
9751 Overview of changes from GLib 2.29.2 to 2.29.4
9752 ==============================================
9755 - Includes several new types to support modeling D-Bus
9756 objects and interfaces more fully, and also introduces
9757 an 'object manager' pattern:
9758 GDBusInterface, GDBusObject, GDBusObjectManager
9759 These interfaces have client-side implementations:
9760 GDBusProxy, GDBusObjectProxy, GDBusObjectManagerClient
9761 And server-side implementations:
9762 GDBusInterfaceSkeleton, GDBusObjectSkeleton, GDBusObjectManagerServer
9763 - The new gdbus-codegen utility uses these new classes
9764 to generate C code and documentation from D-Bus interface
9768 - There is now a g_test_fail() function to mark
9772 - Now has a binding-friendly filename property
9773 - Other new API to more fully expose desktop file contents:
9774 g_desktop_app_info_get_categories(),
9775 g_desktop_app_info_get_generic_name()
9778 - Several optimizations to reduce space consumption of
9779 large hash tables, in particular tables that are used
9782 * Unix-specific APIs:
9783 GLib now installs a separate header, glib-unix.h, that is
9784 meant to collect Unix-specific APIs. For now, it contains
9785 g_unix_open_pipe(), g_unix_set_fd_non_blocking() for dealing
9786 with pipes and fds, as well as APIs to create mainloop
9787 sources which can trigger callbacks on certain Unix
9788 signals (SIGTERM, SIGHUP, SIGINT).

9810 648966 Update g_unichar_iswide and g_unichar_iswide_cjk
9812 * Updated translations
9819 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.28.0 to 2.29.2
9820 ==============================================
9823 - The documentation has been enhanced and clarified
9824 - An opt-out for uniqueness has been added: G_APPLICATION_NON_UNIQUE
9825 - GApplication now syncs settings before g_application_run() returns
9828 - Interface lookups are now happening in constant time
9829 - Signature checking and handling of various unexpected
9830 situations has been improved
9833 - The format accepted by the GVariant parser has beend documented
9834 - GVariant accepts G_VARIANT_TYPE_VARDICT for a{sv}
9837 - The return value of g_datetime_compare() has been fixed to
9838 match strcmp() semantics
9839 - In order to handle problems with changing timezones, a GTimeZoneMonitor
9840 has been added to GIO, and g_time_zone_refresh_local() can be
9841 called to update the cached information about the local timezone
9843 * GOption now uses /proc/self/cmdline to set the program name instead
9844 and only falls back to "<unknown>" if that is unavailable
9847 - The schema compiler now warns about references to non-existing schemas
9849 * Commandline utilities are now fully translated
9851 * Signals can now indicate that collecting their arguments must
9852 always happen, even in the absence of connected signal handlers,
9853 using the G_SIGNAL_MUST_COLLECT flag.

10219 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.27.0 to 2.27.1
10220 ==============================================
10222 * GDateTime now has full week number support.
10223 New API: g_date_time_get_week_numbering_year
10225 * The GSettings schema compiler will now skip over
10226 broken .xml schema files instead of aborting altogether
10228 * GSettings now works properly on bigendian systems
10230 * GSettings has more complete support for ranges
10232 g_settings_get_range
10233 g_settings_range_check
10234 The gsettings commandline tool supports ranges too.
10236 * GApplication has been rewritten; see the API docs for details
10237 and examples. The action support is not complete yet.
10239 * The GLib mainloop has gained 'dispatch to context' functionality,
10240 which can replace manually created idles in many cases.
10242 g_main_context_invoke
10243 g_main_context_invoke_full
10245 * The gio-desktop-app-info-lookup extension point has been
10246 removed from GIO. GIO now uses x-scheme-handler mimetypes when
10247 looking for default applications.
10249 * On win32, make g_get_user_data_dir() return the CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA
10250 folder on Windows, and not CSIDL_PERSONAL. This matches what Qt does,
10251 and has been widely requested. Also make g_get_user_config_dir() return
10252 this and not the (roaming) CSIDL_APPDATA folder.
10254 * A periodic event clock has been added in GIO: GPeriodic. Note that this
10255 API is still experimental and expected to undergo changes before it
10256 will be incorporated into a stable GLib release. Use at your own risk.
10259 613822 gobject signal connect/disconnect not thread safe

10515 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10517 The primary purpose of this release is to fix a serious problem with
10518 glib 2.25.12: glibconfig.h (as generated on a Fedora amd64 system) was
10519 being distributed in the tarball. It was being used to build some parts
10520 of glib on other systems (eg: 32bit ones). This was causing some very
10523 There have been many other improvements, however:
10526 - vastly improved test coverage
10527 - old tests moved to the gtester framework
10528 - gtester Makefile modified so that the tests only run once
10529 - cleanup of how we handle includes while building glib

10541 - don't bother sending RemoveMatch when we will close the connection
10543 - use effective uid/gid for credential passing
10546 - add G_SETTINGS_BIND_INVERT_BOOLEAN for inverting boolean bindings
10547 without mapping functions
10548 - mark all strings in the schema compiler for translation

10581 | WARNING: There have been many API changes in GDBus -- sending |
10582 | messages, subscribing to signals, closing connections and |
10583 | registering subtrees are affected. The ABI for GSettingsBackend |
10584 | has also been changed. For both reasons, a new dconf release is |
10585 | required (and will be along soon). |

10649 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10650 | WARNING: There have been minor API changes in GDBus and GVariant. |
10651 | These API changes will not affect many users, but they do require |
10652 | a new version of GTK+ to be installed. |
10653 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
10656 - add a --disable-Bsymbolic configure flag to disable linking with
10657 -Bsymbolic-functions
10658 - this release sees the complete removal of the old 'g*alias' hacks
10659 - honour the NOCONFIGURE environment variable from autogen.sh
10660 - use proper feature test macros for isnan
10661 - use pkg-config to check for zlib
10662 - add ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS to Makefile.am
10665 - hide Class and instance structures for all GDBus types except
10666 GDBusProxy. This breaks API by preventing subclassing, but probably
10667 nobody was doing that.
10668 - add new GDBusConnection call to support flushing all pending
10670 - change the register_object API to add a reference to the
10671 GDBusInterfaceInfo object so the caller need not keep it alive
10673 - don't rewrite the serial number when sending messages that already
10674 have a serial number
10675 - better error checking for DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment
10677 - switch to g_parse_debug_string for G_DBUS_DEBUG and add a lot of new
10679 - add support for temporarily freezing a freshly created
10680 GDBusConnection. Do this until after the ::new-connection signal
10681 has finished running on GDBus services.
10682 - never require non-closed connections (the user is incapable of doing
10683 this due to the obvious race)
10684 - remove weird/misleading redundant check on NameOwnerChanged signal
10685 - emit GDBusProxy::g-properties-changed on NameOwnerChanged
10688 - the 'g_variant_{new,get}_byte_array' APIs have been removed
10689 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring has been added, with different
10690 arguments and different behaviour
10691 - g_variant_{new,get,dup}_bytestring_array has been added, doing
10692 essentially the same thing as the 'strv' functions, but with byte
10693 strings instead of utf8 strings
10694 - G_VARIANT_TYPE_BYTESTRING ('ay'), BYTESTRING_ARRAY ('aay') and
10695 STRING_ARRAY ('as') constants have been added
10696 - the undocumented behaviour that g_variant_get_strv() deserialised
10697 arrays of object paths or signature strings has been dropped
10698 - additional varargs support for converting bytestrings or bytestring
10699 arrays with ^ay ^aay ^&ay and ^a&ay
10700 - improved gobject-introspection annotation
10701 - fix a problem with GBuffer calling g_slice_free for the wrong type
10702 - fix leaks in the type inferencing code of the parser
10705 - improved documentation
10706 - updated schema XML DTD, now xincluded into the docs
10707 - added support for schemas that extend other schemas (using the
10708 'extends=' attribute). Values of keys in the base schema can be
10709 overridden using <override>.
10710 - added theoretical support for lists (using the 'list-of=' attribute)
10711 - lots of new tests
10712 - add support for flags (implemented similarly to enums)
10713 - add support for generating .enums.xml files to gsettings.m4:
10714 gsettings_ENUM_NAMESPACE = org.example.myapp
10715 gsettings_ENUM_FILES = ../path/to/*.h
10716 will generate org.example.myapp.enums.xml with mappings for all
10717 enums and flags in the specified .h files.
10718 - warn with g_message() if the 'memory' backend is used by default
10719 (ie: because no other GSettings backends are installed)
10720 - fix get_property() for GSettings::schema
10721 - command line tool: fix a bug that prevented non-basic values from
10722 being set due to a premature free
10723 - command line tool: bash completion support
10724 - chain up in _finalize
10725 - add a new g_settings_get_mapped API to read settings that require
10727 - retry with the translated or schema default value if the
10728 GSettingsBindGetMapping function fails
10729 - schema compiler: never fail due to empty schema directories (but
10731 - peek rather than ref/unref the GEnumClass in the mapping function
10732 - schema compiler: compile *.enums.xml before *.gschemas.xml to ensure
10733 that we have all the enums that the schemas may reference
10734 - schema compiler: improve accuracy of line numbers in error reports
10735 - fix crashes in the keyfile backend caused by invalid group names in
10739 - always intern GBinding prop names
10740 - base64: remove asserts preventing conversion of empty strings
10741 - document NULL special-cases for GValueArray
10742 - GNode docs improvements
10743 - improve detection of 'system internal' mounts

10750 - improvements for GSettings tests, plus new tests
10751 - improved tests for GKeyfile
10752 - new tests for GDir, GSList, GSList, GAppLaunchContext,
10753 CharsetConverter, GIcon, ...
10754 - move some tests to GTester (tree tests, uri tests)
10755 - generally, really an awful lot of new tests
10756 - don't try to allocate 2gigs of memory anymore for the array test
10758 552363 g_value_array_{insert,prepend,append}'s special cases for NULL

11165 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.24.0 to GLib 2.25.0
11166 ===================================================
11168 * The GSettings framework has been merged. This provides the API to
11169 replace GConf. DConf will provide a backend implementation for it.
11170 GConf will also provide a backend implementation to ease the
11171 transition. We provide utilities to assist with schema conversion
11172 and data migration, as well as a porting guide.

11184 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.23.6 to GLib 2.24.0
11185 ===================================================
11187 * It is now allowed to call g_thread_init(NULL) multiple times, and
11188 to call glib functions before g_thread_init(NULL) is called
11189 (although the later is mainly a change in docs as this worked before
11190 too). See the GThread reference documentation for the details.
11192 * GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11193 when g_type_init() is called.
11195 * GObject no longer allows to call g_object_set() on construct-only properties
11196 while an object is being initialized. If this behavior is needed, setting a
11197 custom constructor that just chains up will re-enable this functionality.
11199 * GMappedFile on an empty file now returns NULL for the contents instead of
11200 returning an empty string. The documentation specifically states that code
11201 may not rely on nul-termination here so any breakage caused by this change
11202 is a bug in application code.

11267 - The variable arguments API is now merged.
11268 - The parser will be in a future release.
11271 - Remove GUtf8InputStream (which never appeared in a stable release)

11376 * g_assert() grew the ability to store assertions in core dumps
11378 * GIO supports lazy loading of GIO modules, and there is a new
11379 gio-querymodule utility that goes along with this.
11380 Packagers will need to adapt to this.
11382 * Threading changes:
11383 - The requirements for g_thread_init() have been relaxed slightly,
11384 it can be called multiple times, and does not have to be the first
11386 - GObject now links to GThread and threads are enabled automatically
11387 when g_type_init() is called.

11466 ===================================================
11469 - GConverter: a generic interface for stateful conversions of data,
11470 suitable for charset conversion, compression, decompression, regexp
11471 replacement. Concrete implementations are GCharsetConverter,
11472 GZlibCompressor and GZlibDecompressor. GConverterInputStream,
11473 GConverterOutputStream are stream implementations that convert data
11474 while loading or saving it.
11475 - GMounts can now have a 'default location': a path that reflects
11476 the main entry point for the user (e.g. the home directory).
11477 - As a consequence of the compression support, GIO depends on zlib now.
11480 - G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE_DYNAMIC: a convenience macro for adding
11481 interfaces to dynamic types.
11484 - The -pthread flag has been added to all gmodule .pc files, because
11485 it is not generally permissible to load modules that are linked
11486 against libpthread if the program has not been compiled with threading

11843 - New helper functions g_cancellable_connect/disconnect to avoid
11844 race conditions when connecting to the "cancelled" signal on

11848 for actual socket I/O.
11849 - GResolver provides asynchronous and cancellable APIs for resolving
11850 hostnames, reverse lookup of IP addresses and resolving SRV records.
11852 * Glib now provides hash and comparison functions for int64 and double

11926 ===================================================
11928 * The functions for launching applications (e.g. g_app_info_launch() +
11929 friends) now passes a FUSE file:// URI if possible (requires gvfs
11930 with the FUSE daemon to be running and operational). With gvfs 2.26,
11931 FUSE file:// URIs will be mapped back to gio URIs in the GFile
11932 constructors. The intent of this change is to better integrate
11933 POSIX-only applications, see bug #528670 for the rationale. The
11934 only user-visible change is when an application needs to examine an
11935 URI passed to it (e.g. as a positional parameter). Instead of
11936 looking at the given URI, the application will now need to look at
11937 the result of g_file_get_uri() after having constructed a GFile
11938 object with the given URI.

12220 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.18.1 to GLib 2.19.0
12221 ===================================================
12223 * Rewrite GHashTable to use open addressing with quadratic probing instead
12224 of chaining. This has the potential to reduce memory fragmentation
12225 significantly, while being slightly faster due to better locality and
12226 no need to call alloc/free functions for nodes. Benchmarks suggest it
12227 also uses less memory overall.
12229 * Make g_poll available as public api
12231 * New macros g_assert_error and g_assert_no_error to assert
12232 that a GError is set or unset
12234 * g_cancellable_make_pollfd: New method to make a GPollFD for a cancellable
12236 * g_app_info_can_delete, g_app_info_delete, g_app_info_reset_type_associations:
12237 New functions to clean up app infos and content types
12239 * When launching applications, always pass fuse file:// uris when possible,
12240 and let gio convert such uris back to gio uris.

12317 ===================================================
12319 * The recommended way of using GLib has always been to only include the
12320 toplevel headers glib.h, glib-object.h and gio.h. GLib enforces this by
12321 generating an error when individual headers are directly included.
12322 To help with the transition, the enforcement is not turned on by
12323 default for GLib headers (it is turned on for GObject and GIO).
12324 To turn it on, define the preprocessor symbol G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES.

13653 333761 GInitiallyUnowned breaks application code [Sven Herzberg]
13656 - Fix g_listenv() implementation.
13657 - Allow up to 100 GPrivate structs
13659 * Translation updates (fr,hu,lt,pl,sv)
13662 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.9.6 to GLib 2.10.0
13663 ==================================================
13665 * The functions g_snprintf() and g_vsnprintf() have been removed from
13666 the gprintf.h header, since they are already declared in glib.h. This
13667 doesn't break documented use of gprintf.h, but people have been known
13668 to include gprintf.h without including glib.h.
13670 * The Unicode support has been updated to Unicode 4.1. This adds several
13671 new members to the GUnicodeBreakType enumeration.
13673 * The support for Solaris threads has been retired. Solaris has provided
13674 POSIX threads for long enough now to have them available on every
13677 * 'make check' has been changed to validate translations by calling
13678 msgfmt with the -c option. As a result, it may fail on systems with
13679 older gettext implementations (GNU gettext < 0.14.1, or Solaris gettext).
13680 'make check' will also fail on systems where the C compiler does not
13681 support ELF visibility attributes.
13683 * The GMemChunk API has been deprecated in favour of a new 'slice
13684 allocator'. See the g_slice documentation for more details.
13686 * A new type, GInitiallyUnowned, has been introduced, which is
13687 intended to serve as a common implementation of the 'floating reference'
13688 concept that is e.g. used by GtkObject. Note that changing the
13689 inheritance hierarchy of a type can cause problems for language
13690 bindings and other code which needs to work closely with the type
13691 system. Therefore, switching to GInitiallyUnowned should be done
13692 carefully. g_object_compat_control() has been added to GLib 2.8.5
13693 to help with the transition.

13850 - g_slice_free_chain() has been renamed to
13851 g_slice_free_chain_with_offset() [Tim, Behdad Esfahbod]
13852 - Mem chunks are deprecated [Matthias Clasen]
13855 - Hash tables are refcounted, and have a boxed type [Tim]
13858 - Support for Solaris threads has been removed
13859 [Sebastian Wilhelmi, Andrew Paprocki]
13860 - g_async_queue_sort(), g_async_queue_push_sorted() have
13861 been added to allow GAsyncQueue to be used as a priority
13862 queue, together with the corresponding _unlocked
13863 variants [Martyn Russell]
13866 - The concept of a floating initial reference has been
13867 moved from GtkObject to GObject [Tim]
13870 - Make g_rename() replace existing files [Tor Lillqvist]
13873 - G_GUINT64_CONSTANT macro to define guint64
13874 constants [Andrew Paprocki]
13875 - G_GNUC_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT macro to instruct the
13876 compiler to emit a warning if the value returned
13877 by a function is ignored. [Arjan van de Ven, Alex Larsson]
13878 - GList and GSList now have sort functions which take an
13879 extra user data argument [Martyn Russell]
13880 - g_param_spec_ref_sink() has been added for consistency [Tim]

13894 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.8.x to GLib 2.9.0
13895 =================================================
13897 - The Unicode tables have been updated to Unicode 4.1,
13898 adding several new values to the GUnicodeBreakType
13899 enumeration. This breaks Pango <= 1.10
13901 - The various Unicode character predicate functions
13902 (g_unichar_isalpha, g_unichar_isdigit,...) have
13905 - g_utf8_pointer_to_offset, g_utf8_offset_to_pointer:
13906 These functions handle negative offsets now, and
13907 going backwards in g_utf8_offset_to_pointer uses
13908 "stutter stepping".
13909 [Larry Ewing, Matthias Clasen]
13911 * Memory management:
13912 - Mem chunks are no longer used internally in GLib and
13913 GObject. GMemChunk will be deprecated in GLib 2.10
13914 - All APIs based on GAllocator (g_list_push/pop_allocator,
13915 and similar push/pop_allocator functions for other
13916 data structures) have been deprecated, since they
13917 never worked as intended.
13918 - The g_slice_* functions have been added as a
13919 new API for fast allocation of small memory blocks.
13920 The implementation in GLib 2.9.0 is just a simple
13921 wrapper around malloc. GLib 2.10 will have an
13922 efficient and scalable implementation.
13923 [Tim Janik, Matthias]
13925 * Pattern matching:
13926 - g_pattern_match has been optimized to avoid
13927 unnecessary recursion.
13930 * g_intern_string, g_intern_static_string:
13931 - New functions to intern strings. These are now used
13932 by GObject to avoid duplicating static strings
13935 * g_thread_foreach:
13936 - New function to iterate over all GThreads
13939 * g_date_set_time_t, g_date_set_time_val:
13940 - New functions to set a GDate from a time_t or
13941 GTimeVal value. g_date_set_time has been deprecated
13945 * g_snprintf and g_vsnprintf:
13946 - These functions are no longer declared in gprintf.h,
13947 since they are in glib.h

14126 Overview of Changes from GLib 2.4.x to GLib 2.6.0
14127 =================================================
14129 * GLib 2.6 introduces the concept of 'GLib filename encoding', which is the
14130 on-disk encoding on Unix, but UTF-8 on Windows. All GLib functions
14131 returning or accepting pathnames have been changed to expect
14132 filenames in this encoding, and the common POSIX functions dealing
14133 with pathnames have been wrapped. These wrappers are declared in the
14134 header <glib/gstdio.h> which must be included explicitly; it is not
14135 included through <glib.h>.
14137 On current (NT-based) Windows versions, where the on-disk file names
14138 are Unicode, these wrappers use the wide-character API in the C
14139 library. Thus applications can handle file names containing any
14140 Unicode characters through GLib's own API and its POSIX wrappers,
14141 not just file names restricted to characters in the system codepage.
14143 To keep binary compatibility with applications compiled against
14144 older versions of GLib, the Windows DLL still provides entry points
14145 with the old semantics using the old names, and applications
14146 compiled against GLib 2.6 will actually use new names for the
14147 functions. This is transparent to the programmer.
14149 When compiling against GLib 2.6, applications intended to be
14150 portable to Windows must take the UTF-8 file name encoding into
14151 consideration, and use the gstdio wrappers to access files whose
14152 names have been constructed from strings returned from GLib.
14154 * Likewise, g_get_user_name() and g_get_real_name() have been changed
14155 to return UTF-8 on Windows, while keeping the old semantics for
14156 applications compiled against older versions of GLib.
14158 * The GLib uses an '_' prefix to indicate private symbols that
14159 must not be used by applications. On some platforms, symbols beginning
14160 with prefixes such as _g will be exported from the library, on others not.
14161 In no case can applications use these private symbols. In addition to that,
14162 GLib+ 2.6 makes several symbols private which were not in any installed
14163 header files and were never intended to be exported.
14165 * To reduce code size and improve efficiency, GLib, when compiled
14166 with the GNU toolchain, has separate internal and external entry
14167 points for exported functions. The internal names, which begin with
14168 IA__, may be seen when debugging a GLib program.
14170 * On Windows, GLib no longer opens a console window when printing
14171 warning messages if stdout or stderr are invalid, as they are in
14172 "Windows subsystem" (GUI) applications. Simply redirect stdout or
14173 stderr if you need to see them.
14175 * The child watch functionality tends to reveal a bug in many
14176 thread implementations (in particular the older LinuxThreads
14177 implementation on Linux) where it's not possible to call waitpid()
14178 for a child created in a different thread. For this reason, for
14179 maximum portability, you should structure your code to fork all
14180 child processes that you want to wait for from the main thread.
14182 * A problem was recently discovered with g_signal_connect_object();
14183 it doesn't actually disconnect the signal handler once the object being
14184 connected to dies, just disables it. See the API docs for the function
14185 for further details and the correct workaround that will continue to
14186 work with future versions of GLib.
14189 - GOption, a commandline option parser
14190 - GKeyFile, a parser/editor for the .ini like files
14191 - Functions to support the XDG basedir specification
14192 - Wrappers for common POSIX pathname functions to handle filename
14193 encodings consistently. On Windows, these use UTF-8.
14195 * Miscellaneous new functions
14196 - g_filename_display_name() converts filenames in displayable UTF-8 strings
14197 - g_uri_list_extract_uris() splits uri lists
14198 - g_date_get_iso8601_week_of_year() gets ISO 8601 week numbers
14199 - g_log_set_default_handler() installs an alternate default log handler
14200 - g_get_language_names() obtains a list of applicable locale names
14201 - g_strv_length() calculates the length of NULL-terminated string arrays
14202 - g_win32_get_windows_version() determines the Windows version
14203 - G_GNUC_INTERNAL marks functions as non-exported
14204 - glib_check_version() checks the GLib version at runtime

14212 - Reduce code size by removing literal strings from g_return_if_fail()
14215 - On Windows, GLib functions that take file name arguments now require
14216 those to be in UTF-8. Functions that return file names return UTF-8.
14217 - Use higher precision for mathematical constants
14218 - Don't convert to/from UTF-8 in g_filename_to_uri/g_filename_from_uri
14219 - Support ll as printf format modifier for long long on all platforms
14220 - Clean up the ABI and enforce the list of exported symbols

15196 (add libgmodule.so to the --libs output) arguments now. this can also
15197 be specified as fourth argument to the AM_PATH_GLIB() macro.
15198 * Overhaul of the `inline' autoconfiguration stuff, so inlining should be
15199 sufficiently supported on all systems that allow inlining now.
15200 * New g_log() mechanism for logging of messages at different log levels,

15206 a publically exported g_strdup_vprintf().
15207 People that used the former g_vsprintf() would definitely want to read the
15208 associated ChangeLog entries (grep for printf).
15209 * New utility functions:
15210 g_strndup(), g_on_error_query(), g_on_error_stack_trace(), g_strdup_printf(),
15211 g_strdup_vprintf(), g_printf_string_upper_bound(), g_spaced_primes_closest(),
15212 g_strnfill(), g_memdup().
15213 * Overhaul of the array implementations, this contains some source incompatible
15214 changes. Again, the ChangeLog is much more informative (grep for garray.c).
15215 * The internals of the g_dataset mechanism are now exported through the
15216 new g_datalist_* API (this is also the underlying implementation for the
15217 keyed data of GtkObjects).
15218 * New function g_atexit(), use of the ATEXIT() macro is discouraged.
15219 * Better configure checks for ansi compliance.
15220 * Libtool update to version 1.2b.
15221 * Lotsa bug fixes and cleanups as always ;)

15254 * Const correction all over the place, including a new pointer type
15256 * Generic functions for TAB completions.
